VOLUNTEER WITH US

We rely on the generous support of our community to fulfill our mission of making fresh, local food accessible for all.

Every year, hundreds of volunteers – regular folks who care about feeding their neighbors – join us at our food hub to pack boxes of fresh produce.

The boxes are delivered to our 30+ partner organizations who distribute food to vulnerable populations throughout the Triangle. We also pack food boxes for CSA for All!, the proceeds from which support our Fresh Food Fund that allows our community partners to order produce from us at no cost.

When a whole team of passionate people work together, big change can happen.

In 2024, we packed 24,000 food boxes to fight hunger!

We’re always looking for more people to join our crew of volunteers, and every extra pair of hands means more fresh food reaching the tables of hungry folks in our community.

Besides knowing your time and effort are helping nourish the local food system, pack days are a fun, welcoming atmosphere where you can build community with other people making a difference.

Pack days are typically Monday and Wednesday from 9am-1pm, with some occasional schedule variations. Activities typically include folding boxes, packaging produce, filling food boxes with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and preparing box orders for delivery. Our staff will guide box packs and be available for any questions or additional assistance.

Be sure to view upcoming dates and sign up through our volunteer portal before joining us!

NOTE FOR GROUPS

If you have a group of 3-4 or more interested in volunteering, please contact us directly at volunteer@farmerfoodshare.org so we can schedule you for a day with a large box pack.

We love connecting with our community and helping folks get involved with our work.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP

Occasionally, we put out a call for additional volunteer opportunities, like assembling fundraiser mailings, hosting CSA pickups, or writing thank you cards to funders. Let us know if you’re interested, and we’ll reach out as needs arise.
